What with Harry and Meghan choosing to disassociate themselves and Prince Andrew under investigation is it time to partially or completely abolish the monarchy system.

Are they a drain on Britain or are they still an asset?

Thoughts....

[UserSince2005]

No, and anyone who thinks so needs abolishing.

Yes... people will still come here, they visit other countries who did away with royalty. Post covid yes they will just be a huge drain.

The current Queen has been a magnificent monarch and William and Kate will also be excellent

NO

Yes but rarely do they exercise their powers. Queenie should have intervened over Covid when her government didn't know what the **** they were playing at.

They are just happy to sit on their arses and be pampered. Also there are way too many hangers on.

Agreed she's not head of state... she does nothing none of them have any role doing anything that benefits the country in any meaningful way.

I think its very niave to think they sit on their arses and get pampered...they do a lot behind the scenes. The Royal family..its history its pomp and ceremony doesnt get matched by any other country...they are a massive draw for Tourism.
As far as covid is concerned...this country or others have never dealt with anything like this before. Whoever was in power and had to make decisions would no doubt have made as many unfavoured decisions as Boris imo. Its very easy to sit there and critisise dealing with a crisis we have never had to deal with before.

It does.. The French had an extremely popular royal family...well until the revolution.

Not saying that should happen here

[Ammi]

... Princess Eugenie is pregnant, if I could just pop that in here as a general Royal news thread....wishing her a healthy pregnancy.....

[Ramsay]

It's dumb

[Swan]

As a proud anti royalist, yes!

I hate everything they stand for!

[bots]

i hate the whole concept of royalty.

[Marsh.]

Well, they have no use anymore anyway.

[Crimson Dynamo]

lets sort out the house of lords first

[joeysteele]

No, I wouldn't like it abolished.

[arista]

No Kate
The Royal Family are staying put

Forget the USA ones.
Forget that Criminal perv one

[Jordan.]

Yes after Queen Liz dies, no one cares about the other royals outside of her and our Harry and Meghan.

[smudgie]

NO

[Elliot]

get rid of all hierarchies

[user104658]

Should have been scrapped decades ago, and there isn't even the "good for tourism!!" excuse for keeping them around any more since no one will be allowed to go anywhere ever again . The Queen is one thing - although we all just ignore the fact that she's married to a quite blatant white supremacist - but the second-tier Royals at this point are a gaggle of alcoholics and (allegedly, allegedly) paedophiles and the generation after that are just a bit sad and lost.

Put them out of their misery, they have a level of personal wealth that means they can carry on with the philanthropy (if they actually want to) anyway, and in a position of power (even fake power) all they do is reinforce the Oh So British idea that some folks are "born better". Fling tae fuque.

[Nicky91]

no


and if this would be a question regarding my country, a no either

[joeysteele]

I'd hate to end up having a President.
No thanks.

I prefer how things are.
There are many decisions that politically have been bad over the decades.

I think if this Country abolished the Monarchy, it would be a decision deeply regretted.

Despite their faults, I still would always support retaining the Monarchy.
Some things can be and are special.
For me, our Monarchy is one such thing.

[Liam-]

They’re the ultimate benefit scroungers, get rid

[bots]

i have no respect for the royal family, however i have no respect for the government either so i'm not their audience. i think the royal family becomes less relevant every passing year so they will eventually just fade away from public view
